  • Hi Stampers,

    Did you see the pictured of the Christmas Card class over on my Facebook page?? If not go check 'em out. I know those of you who couldn't make it to this year's Christmas Card Class have been waiting to get a peek at the cards we made! This is one of the cards I designed for the class. I fell in LOVE with the deer image and wanted to create a very classic Rudolph type card in a not so classic color combo – what do you think of the Blue, Purple, and Sliver look? Of course you could easily recreate this card with Classic Red and Green and a Brown for your reindeer if you prefer the more traditional look for your cards.

    The Gold Thread is great for the messy loopy background that's so popular right now. You can't get it wrong!

  • Hi Stampers,

    I love creating every month with my Paper Pumpkin kit!! May's kit was a fun Birthday Card and Gift Bag Kit.

    May-2015

    After you Punch out the Big Balloons for the Gift Bags you have a GREAT template to use for creating balloons in any color you want! Save those leftovers in your kit!!

    BalloonTemplate2

    I traced a balloon onto Blackberry Bliss card stock and cut it out! (Note: In my example I used a dark pen so you could see it in the photo, normally I would use a very light pencil that I can erase after I cut the balloon out.)

    Once I had my balloon I attached it to a wooden chop stick. And added some trim and a Banner stamped with the Congratulations stamp in the Paper Pumpkin kit.

  • Hi Stampers,

    A few days ago I shared a simple bookmark that was created with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp set. It's a great stamp set to use as a stand alone – or in addition to other sets!

    Check out this quick video from Stampin' Up! for a little more stampin' inspiration featuring the Layered Letters Alphabet…

  • Hi Stampers,

    Last Saturday was the first stamp camp with the new 2015 Catalog out – so of course we had to play around with the New In Colors!!

    We started off stamp camp with a simple Bookmark featuring all five new colors…

    InColorsBookmark

    We used the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp set to stamp background circles in

    • Tip Top Taupe
    • Cucumber Crush
    • Mint Macaron
    • Watermelon Wonder
    • Tip Top Taupe

    This we stamped the Hello greeting, used the Triple Banner Punch to add a perfect banner to the end of the bookmark and topped it off with some of the SUPER Yummy Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder!!

    I am so in love with the new Dotted Lace Trim is so soft and pretty!

  • Hi Stampers,

    image from www.inkrediblestamping.comThe 2015 Stampin' Up! catalog starts on June 2, 2015. I always use my May spring cleaning time to get all my craft supplies in order – organizing and making room for new items and of course new In Colors! 

    If you're not familiar with the way I organize my Sponge Daubers check out my original post here: Sponge Dauber boxes. I know many of you enjoy organizing your daubers in the boxes just like me so I wanted to be sure to share the updated charts with everyone! There are two options for the charts. My Free Chart is a Black and White version that includes only the colors that are current as well as the 2012-15 In Colors. The other option is a FULL color chart that you can print out for your box (and when you purchase this one from me, I'll edit it to add or remove the colors of your choice!)

    Purchase the FULL COLOR Chart

    FullColorSpongeDauberCase20

    Cost: $5.00
    (Includes 1 edit by me within 30 days of purchase – I'll add or remove any colors you want)

    Once you purchase you'll receive a link to download the chart that includes all the current colors as well as the recently retired Colors and In Colors. You can e-mail me to add or remove the colors of your choice.

  • Hi Stampers,

    I've been away for far too long and I have missed sharing with my online stampin' friends!! The year so far has been a little crazy for me – and that means I have not had the time to share that I want! But I'm excited to be back and hopefully back to normal with my sharing!!

    Today I have a fun card we created at my last Stamp Camp.

    BaloonCard

     I love the versatility of the Celebrate Today stamp set! We created several different cards with this set at Stamp Camp – all of them had a different look – I love when I get a lot of mileage out of my dollar! πŸ™‚
